I live in Northern Virginia and see few Porsche cars on a daily basis. I try to flash my fog lights to acknowledge the other driver and I usually get a response. While driving in northern NY state earlier this month a string of Harleys passed by and one rider gave me a 'thumbs up' salute. I thought that was cool.
This past weekend I was driving thru Purcellville and got a wave from a 911 driver. Then, a few miles later, a 911 driver at a stop light in Leesburg didn't even look my way. At the next traffic light he blew thru the yellow light and I chose not to run the potential red light.
Have any fellow NoVa Boxster owners driven Snickersville Turnpike? It's a really fun drive and some of the road has recently been repaved- but I usually get stuck behind some SUV (or worse, horse trailer) going under the speed limit 50% of the drive.
Regards,
derb

I think the wave distinguishes the enthusiasts from the owners. The people that don't wave got the car simply for the sake of owning a Porsche. That's my theory.
I remember the first wave I got. I was thinking to myself, "there's a Porsche guy like me, I'm so gonna wave. Then low and behold, he waved first." It's weird how rewarding that is.
Headlight flashings are reserved to inform other motorists of "radar patrol ahead." Don't do that.

Honestly, how could some one not want to wave back at that hot mug?
